Pink has spoken to Ellen Degeneres about her experience with coronavirus, and says it was "the scariest thing I’ve ever been through in my whole life".

Last week, Pink revealed that she and her three-year-old son Jameson had coronavirus.

During an interview for The Ellen Degeneres Show, Pink has shared details of her experience, and revealed that her son was the first to show symptoms last month, "He started with a fever on March 14th. It would come and go, then he’d have stomach pains, diarrhea, chest pains, a headache, and a sore throat - it was sort of all over the place. Everyday it was a new symptom, and then his fever stayed, and it started going up and up. At one point he was at 103."

She reveals that she started feeling ill a few days after, but instead of experiencing a fever, she reveals she woke up in the middle of the night and "couldn't breathe". She goes on to explain that she has asthma, and had to use a nebuliser for the first time in three decades.

Pink says that she was able to get tested for the virus soon after, "I tested myself, I could only get one test, and it came back a week later - positive." She adds that she knew it would come back positive, and reiterates that due to her celebrity status she was able to get her hands on a test, adding, "I would say, you should be angry that I can get a test and you can’t."

Knowing that a lot of people will be annoyed or angry at her for being able to get tested before other people, Pink said, "But being angry at me is not going to help anything, it’s not gonna solve the issue of the fact that you can’t get your hands on a test. And number two, tell me anybody with a sick three-year-old that could get their hands on a test wouldn’t take it. And if they say that, I’m calling bullshit."
